has been made in the budget for 1943-1945 for this program, but it could probably be financed during the next biennium by the use of unexpended salary balances resulting from granting staff members leaves of absence without pay for war services; provided that the University receives the appropriations as approved by the Board of Trustees on October 17 and submitted to t h e State Department of Finance. If this program were put into effect at this time, it would involve medical examinations for a large number of new appointees and employees who will not be on the University staff permanently. There is a large turnover in the staff due to members going on leaves for military and other war services. T h e shortage of physicians makes it impossible to put the program into full effect. In view of these considerations it has not seemed advisable to inaugurate this program at present. In the meantime, medical examinations a r e being given to all new staff members and employees who will become participants in the University Retirement System of Illinois. All other staff members and employees who, because of age, have not heretofore been under this System, are also given medical examinations as they reach the age of thirty and become participants. I request the instructions of the Board as to further procedure in view of rapidly changing conditions.

It was the opinion of the Board that the President should carry on this program as far as may be practicable.
